Water filters on the market today can remove some contaminants, but they’re not designed to capture microplastics. In fact, some of them may actually add small plastics into drinking water during the filtration process. What’s worse is these microplastics can cause inflammation, increase the risk of cancer and act as carriers for harmful chemicals that trigger other health problems.
